Thanks, Cathi.
In particular, I want to display a bitmap image on the parent form. It looks best if it is centered and not stretchable. Do you have any other ideas for how to keep the image visible behind the child windows?

If I add a control, such as a label, to the parent form, the child forms are displayed behind the control. In other words, the control blocks all or part of the child form. (Coming from a VFP background, this seem to be very odd behavior to me.)
